I have been interested in Genealogy since about 1966. Find A Grave is a great source to link those to their families. I have been working on getting those links connected to my families and my wife's family, plus a few not directly related. I think it is wonderful that the memory of those gone on before are not forgotten through Find A Grave.
Feel free to use pictures I have posted, but if you don't mind acknowledge them if you are putting them on Ancestry.com.

I ran across this on a fellow member, it states something I know so true:
A CALLING:
What calls us to find the ancestors? It goes beyond a simple curiosity. We are taken over, compelled, as if possessed by something bigger than us that is begging to be revealed. There is one of us in most every family, called to be the scribe. I am but one of the many in the long line of storytellers of our clan. Like others I am called to gather and assemble the ancestors—to breathe life back into them as far back as we can reach. We take what we find and chronicle the facts of their existence, remembering their names and who they were and what they did. They are the sum of who we are, for without them, we would not exist. We greet those who came before us, restoring their place in the familial line. We scribe their stories and their histories. We search for them in public libraries, county records, and weed-filled or well-kept cemeteries. We comb through yellowed newspapers, family archives, and lovely old letters and photo albums. We find them! And in finding them—we find ourselves.
